<div dir="auto"> Anything in the lepidoptera order are the most attractive, though your coleoptera offer more bang for the buck protein-wise. But when it comes to defining what a “handful” of saves is, as one our ex-Presidents said, it depends on what your definition of is is. Or in this case, handful. Are we talking a handful based on another of our ex-Presidents’ tiny hands? ( one or two saves). Or are we talking Zach Edey hands? (double digit saves). Whatever the case, I’m still infuriated that no one from Adolpho Sanchez’s camp bothered to notify the H.D. organization that he had signed with the Reds…..</div><div dir="auto"> Rick</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 19, 2024 at 10:45 AM Klein Nine <<a href="mailto:KleinNine@pm.me">KleinNine@pm.me</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">Rick,</div><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">What's the bug-eating situation if Chad Green gets all the Jays' saves?</div><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">-Andy<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><br></div>

<em>(Romano will be given an anti-inflammatory injection prior to the brief shutdown period and then hopes to resume throwing later this week. An MRI on the closer's elbow showed no structural issues, so the hope seems to be that this is just a minor issue
that will resolve soon. However, there is certainly always a level of concern when it's the pitching elbow. Erik Swanson would be next in line to close for the Blue Jays, although he will be shut down himself for a day or two with a forearm issue. Yimi Garcia
and/or Chad Green could be next in the pecking order.)</em></span></font><br>

<div>"Rays: INF Jonathan Aranda</div>
This offseason, the Rays set out to create a path to playing time for Aranda. The 25-year-old infielder has checked every box in Triple-A, batting a combined .328/.421/.565 with 43 homers and 166 RBIs in 199 games for Durham over the past two years. But that
success hasn’t necessarily translated to the Majors yet -- he’s hit .212 with a .656 OPS in 66 games. Competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster, Aranda knew he’d get a lot of chances to prove himself this spring. So far, he’s done everything the Rays
could have hoped for and more. Aranda is batting .371 with a .992 OPS in 12 games this spring and now seems like a lock for a big league job. -- Adam Berry"<br>
